Sbreeflights, pro timer 32" blues about half way up amd whites a quarter way up on intensity

I would say light, what light is it, have you got a pic of where they are in the tank?

Light or placement and/or feedings. I feed my zoas with various small foods.

Try more light and/or changing flow.

My light is halfway up on blues....it's never been that high before....amd they colored up nicely before....maybe I should lower it?

MaiReef · Mar 7, 2017

How high are the whites/other colors?

I agree on the light.
If youre uncomfortable upping the intensity, move the zoas higher in the tank.
If I see my zoas color diminishing, I always do that first.

I'm fine upping the intensity but they have been in lower intensity amd they were nicely colored....it seems after I turned it up they started turning one color
